    Accutane - How realistic are the sides?

    So from my recent Tren cycle I got TORE up with acne. First time on a cycle ever. It's not even like cystic or nodular, it's like a ton of smallish bumps that when squeezed, expel goo. However, on one of my shoulders, it is in fact developing into cystic acne and it frankly looks like shit. I'm using alcohol and the sun to help dry them out, but it seems more come in daily.

    I'm still running Tren @ 75mg ED and 750mg Test Enan EW and I'm also about to add Winny Tabs @ 60mg ED to sculpt the mass I've accumulated. SO....

    Who has used Accutane successfully and at what dose? The most important parts of this questions are this: Does anyone take any kind of medication for anxiety or depression and has taken Accutane successfully? Secondly, has anyone actually have the severe negative side-effects that are often brought up with Isotretinoin.

    Forgive the lengthy, rambling post, but I like to be clear and concise in what I am looking for. Thank you for your help.

    EDIT - Sorry, should have went to the AR Spa. Mods, could you please move this. Thanks and sorry.

    been on accutane for 4 weeks. The only side I have is chapped lips and less oily skin. There was an inital breakout too.
    Maybe you want construct your next cycle with a gentler cycle.

    I tried both Accutane and Chinese Isotretinoin. Accutane worked better on the acne but I got bad sides from both. Mainly, I got dry pink eyes, depression, unusual tiredness and loss of appetite. I ran Accutane for three weeks and Isotretinoin for another one week and that was the end of story!

    Edit: chapped lips too. I ran Accutane at 60 mg/day and that could be the reason. You can start with lower dose (40 mg/day) and see how it works.

    I didnt notice any rambling at all Rast, just enough background info for us to comment on.

    I have ran Accutane and if you scroll through some of the posts here in the Spa you'll notice that I loved every minute of it. I'm 25 now and have gotten about 3 zits in the past 4 years or so thanks to Accutane. I never used to break out bad except for when I cycled. At about 21 or so I was cycling Test, Tren a D-bol. Let me tell you how bad my acne was when I was cycling those 3. I never wanted to do juice again.

    After running Tane for 5 months it was like a miracle. I was on AAS for a portion on the Tane treatment and blood work checked out A ok every month.

    1. I was on 60mg ED for 5 months.
    2. Never took any meds along with that so cant comment on that.
    3. Never any severe sides. Extremely chapped lips and like 2 bloody noses, that was about it.
    4. Thread moved

    Thanks Jay, that's great info man. I really think I'm going to give it a shot. Even though I'm about to start an oral cycle. I have always been able to maintain my liver values and I get my blood work done as I am suppose to. Thanks for the feedback from everyone.

    Doing an oral cycle while on accutane is retarded...I advise you not to. I can guarantee you will fail a blood test if you're taking any oral steroid while on 60mg+ of accutane.

    And if you aren't getting monthly blood tests for the accutane to begin with, your really taking a chance. Good luck with the acne...hope it clears up.

    i personally took acctuane 60 mg ed and i had an Rx, the stuff is pretty lethal. i felt depressed had night vision loss sometimes, very dry skin but did clear up my acne. if you have bad acne, i think its worth it and just stick out the side effects
